Looking to try a new restaurant in Porto or Douro

Post by Roy Hersh »

Any names to share of NEW restaurants that have opened in the last few months beyond O Gaveto which was totally revamped? In Douro too, please.

Not new, but in Porto if you have not tried Aurora, I really enjoyed last time I was there.

The food at Aurora looks tasty. I've marked that one on my map.

Has anyone here been to MUU Steakhouse? It's #1 on TripAdvisor right now, but I had never heard of it. Glitch in ratings, or worthwhile?

At Aurora, ask for David if he is there, it was the waiter I had, 1,5 years ago. Passionnate and enthusiast, it was really fun to pass an evening with him. I was not supposed to drink and he was like, try this, try that... they make their own "arguadente" flavoured with different herbs and fruit, looks bad but tastes good! I sent some friends, they did not have the same waiter but they enjoyed the food.
